If you feel dizzy, hear ringing in your ears or start feeling anxious, stop and breathe the way you normally do. Safety and limits

Headphones make this easier 🎧.

Relax the shoulders, the jaw and the belly. Don't straighten the spine by force.

Breathe with the belly and the lower ribs. The inhale stays small; the exhale is soft and silent.
